hurglary.
Two male students were convicted of a misdemeanor for annoying phone calls and placed on
a three year court probation on
Friday, April 9, according to the
Whittier Municipal Court case
report.
The two students pleaded no"
contest to the misdemeanor
charge.
They were suspended by the
College on Tuesday, April 19, effective immediately and through
the Spring semester of 2000, according to the two students. Director of Residential Life Dave
Leonard and Dean of Students
Susan Allen chose not to comment.
In addition to court probation,
the students were sentenced to
three days in Los Angeles County
Jail, which was fulfilled by their
time in W.P.D. custody.
While on court probation, the
students must not commit any
criminal offense, obey ali court
laws and order and not harass,
molest or annoy the victim. If probation conditions are broken the
court will issue a bench warrant in
the amount of $25,000.
Initially, the students were
charged with a felony by Whittier
Police Department for allegedly
placing terrorizing phone calls to
another Whittier student, according to the W.P.D. report/S<?e QC
tac 21, Volume 85].
According to Asst. Chief of
Campus Safety John Lewis, the
victim was also allegedly threatened with threats directed at his
girlfriend, also a Whittier student.
"No calls were directed towards
the girlfriend," one student said.
"And, I never meant to threaten
his safety. I never would have
thought that it would have been
interpreted as terroristic threats."
The second student said, "I
did make calls directed toward the
victim, but not towards his girlfriend."
The victim was unavailable
for comment.
Nobert Retires After 17 Years Alumni House Knds
■ FACULTY
by Steve Alvarado
QCAsst. News Editor
Distinguished Service Professor of Music and College Organist Francis Nobert has announced
her retirement and is scheduled to
leave the College in.June 1999.
She plans to travel internationally, including a performance in
London this summer and an invitational appearance in Italy later
this year.
According to Professor of
Music Stephen Gothold, Nobert
has not only been a colleague, but
a friend for over 30 years.
"[Nobert] has been active in the
College's Music Department for
since 1982 by becoming involved
in woman's music," he said.
It has not been decided if there
will be a search for Nobert's replacement, though Gothold said
that he and Professor of Music
Danilo Lozano will share Nobert's
responsibilities until someone is
hired. v
Nobert, who served as coordinator for the Women's Studies
curriculum from during 1995-98,
decided in fall 1997 to reduce her
work load to part-time. Since the
Music Department needed a professor who could work during the
week, Nobert decided last fall to
retire ratherthan continue to teach
"If s not so much that I did not
want to teach, but I had other
things to attend to," Nobert said.
"I have grown extremely fond of
everybody here at Whittier College. It has been a difficult decision for me to make."
